The biggest transportation issue is not having a car

April 5, 2023

Today, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Gabe Vasquez are doing a joint event In New Mexico to talk about “transportation issues.” 

The real transportation issue Buttigieg and Vasquez won’t talk about today is Albuquerque’s sky-high carjacking rate. 

Albuquerque has one of the highest rates in the country, and yet Vasquez continues to support reducing penalties for violent crime, even calling to defund the police.  

“Pete Buttigieg and Gabe Vasquez both continue to deliver failure after failure. The biggest transportation problem facing New Mexicans is the high carjacking rate, which Vasquez has enabled with his support for soft-on-crime policies.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar
